Go Green! Initiative

The Kentucky Derby Festival’s Go Green! initiative continues to step up year after year.

Expect to see Green Efforts at many Derby Festival events including Thunder Over Louisville, Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville, U.S. Bank Great Balloon Glow, Marathon/miniMarathon, and the Republic Bank Pegasus® Parade amongst others. We are proud to offer a zero-waste event with Kentucky Proud WineFest! The Derby Festival’s Go Green! program, which is sponsored by LG&E, includes composting of inedible food waste; donation of edible food; use of compostable products; grease recycling and on-site recycling. Concessions by Cox partners to assist with these efforts.

Here are some other ways you can “Go Green” with the Kentucky Derby Festival:
